YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDrop Site's Ryan Grim and Sharif Abdel Kouddous discuss the Maine Senate primary race and candidate Graham Platner.
Grim said Platner’s surge in Maine shows “a dramatic and fundamental break between the Democratic base and its leadership,” as a new UNH poll puts him 58–24 over Gov. Janet Mills despite attacks over an old skull-and-crossbones tattoo tied to Nazi imagery.
Grim said the party “can’t separate its embrace of this genocide from the backlash it’s now facing” and voters “want candidates who know who their enemies are.”
Kouddous noted that Gaza “is a huge part of that split,” as even Vice President Harris now clumsily tries to distance herself from the genocide she presided over for 15+ months.
